A topical and accessible collection, The Sugar Mile takes its
readers on a journey from wartime London to modern-day America. In
a series of monologues, each beautifully drawn and intimate, Glyn
Maxwell details the effects and experiences of conflict: the sense
of community bounded by a distrust of strangers and foreigners;
whole streets razed to the ground; homes lost, possessions
misplaced and characters displaced; fears for loved-ones offset by
tentative bargains with god; casual encounters given an intense,
unreal edge by the context in which they occur; the routine drama
and unfamiliar 'everydayness' of bombs, blackouts, shelters,
temporary accommodation and evacuation . . . With painstaking
clarity and honesty, Maxwell has captured the surrealism of a world
under siege -- whether WWII or the war on terror declared post
9/11.
